Backlog Of Cargo Ships At Port Of LA Reaches Boiling Point​

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) – As an estimated 500,000 containers are sitting on cargo ships off the Southern California coast, many are wondering how to handle the backlog.
Few are more frustrated about the backlog at the Port of Los Angeles and Long Beach, than truck drivers in the chaos. They say that a trucker shortage is not the problem, instead, the port needs to speed up wait times and have more dock help ready to offload.
“I’ve got friends right now that are in line… from nine o’clock in the morning and they can’t pull the load yet,” said truck driver Walter Martinez. “The people inside, they get paid by the hour, but not the drivers.”
“Last night I was there from eight o’clock to three in the morning. They kicked me out because they leave at three o’clock,” said Oscar Ovalle. “There’s one crane for 60 trucks and it’s ridiculous! They have two other cranes sitting.”

This is/was intentional, and it's working. Only way to 'fix' it will be to nationalize our entire supply chain.

UK Fuel Supply Crisis Hits Frontline Care Home Workers​

October 1, 2021
Staff shortages, cancelled activities, missed hospital appointments: Britain's fuel supply crisis is biting at care facilities like Chipstead Lake, a home for adults with physical disabilities.

As the country enters a second week of delivery shortfalls and long lines at petrol stations, key workers in sectors such as residential care have been left exasperated -- and demanding prioritisation.


Some have missed shifts after lacking the fuel to drive to work, while others have been forced to spend hours searching or queuing for available petrol, adding fatigue and stress to an already gruelling profession.

Staff who can get to work are "doing two people's jobs".

Good. When people start dying or get impacted maybe they will vote differently.

We are finally reaping the negative downside of globalization. The instant a wrench gets thrown into the works of shipping or ports it all cascades quickly.

Funny....

We the members on this forum; this one right here...

Many of us have been saying this for quite sometime.

Many of us are good.

I will be picking up fifty pounds of bacon tomorrow though.

Lots more coffee as well.
